In this edition, Fr. Anthony contrasts the worldly view of church with what it looks like in the light of Christ. Then he answers some questions on Church unity, the rite of Churching, and whether we can get sick from Communion. The show ends with a short plug on how much there is to love about Lent.

In this edition, Fr. Anthony talks about Ukrainian culture, St. Mary of Egypt and the need for repentance, what the Annunciation teaches us about the value of unborn life, the politics of Church unification, and his return from Afghanistan.

In this podcast I discuss the deals we make with the devil, share some local Lenten music, discuss the situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan, go over some of the material from this past week's parish and seminary classes***, and share the latest installment about meeting God in Afghanistan. I hope you enjoy it!

*** Includes a little bit on how our instinct for comformity helps and hurts us; and the role of St. Petro Mohila in the Orthodox Church.

In this podcast, I discuss the encounter of the paralytic with Christ and how it informs our own; talk about international, national, and local news; and finish with the beginning of a series on my Lent in Afghanistan.
